A novel method has been developed for synthesizing the oxygen-sensitive nanomaterial WO, utilizing 1,3-propanediol as a solvent, with water-triggered nucleation and controllable crystal growth in an open system. The amount of water addition was precisely investigated for the effect of the crystal growth process. Furthermore, the incorporation of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid into the process led to the successful preparation of a functionalized nanocomposite polyester, WO/poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PTF), through in situ polymerization, exhibiting superior thermal insulation properties.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to quarantine to slow the rate of transmission, causing communities to transition into virtual spaces. Asian American and Pacific Islander communities faced the additional challenge of discrimination that stemmed from racist and xenophobic rhetoric in the media. Limited data exist on technology use among Asian American and Pacific Islander adults during the height of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place period and its effect on their physical and mental health.

Background: In tackle-collision sports, the tackle has the highest incidence, severity, and burden of injury. Head injuries and concussions during the tackle are a major concern within tackle-collision sports. To reduce concussion and head impact risk, evaluating optimal tackle techniques to inform tackle-related prevention strategies has been recommended.

Introduction: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) represents a major public health issue that produces far-reaching physiological effects. AUD is an underappreciated, yet critical risk factor clinicians need to be aware of and screen for to integrate preventive and therapeutic strategies when dealing with pneumonia in this vulnerable population. This research paper investigates the link between AUD and pneumonia by examining both the elevated risk of lung infection and the intensified disease severity.

Electrochemical dehydration reaction is a fascinating and underexplored field of research, which has started to attract significant attention in recent years. Dehydration reactions are characterized by the formal removal of water in the course of the transformation, and they are among the most fundamental types of reactions found throughout chemistry. Examples are esterification reactions, amidation reactions, and the synthesis of carbon-heteroatom multiple bonds.
